WATERVILLE â” An Everett woman pleaded guilty Monday to second-degree animal cruelty and was sentenced to five days on a Department of Corrections work crew after law enforcement and animal control officials say they found several starving dogs and cats on a remote property near Mansfield last year. Jody White, two Douglas County deputies and a Department of Social and Health Services employee drove to the isolated property because the deputies were going to serve a search warrant on the property owner, who is not Walls, and knew several dogs and cats were on the property. Baylissâ report said the property ownerâs four dogs were in relatively good health, though one of the dogs had an eye infection. The property owner told Bayliss that Walls in September had asked if it was OK to move her trailer to his property, where she and her 14-year-old son could live, and he agreed. In Baylissâ report, she wrote that the DSHS employee had contacted her and said Wallsâ son told her that he would feed bread to the dogs when he could, and also shared whatever food he had with the cats, often tuna with Tabasco sauce. read more
